PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
THIS IS AN ONGOING ACTIVITY FROM FY 2008. ACTIVITIES LISTED HAVE BEEN INITIATED AND
WILL CONTINUE IN FY 2009. ACCOMPLISHMENTS WILL BE REPORTED IN THE FY 2008 APR.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ACTIVITY NARRATIVE REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008. WHEN FY
2009 FUNDING IS ISSUED, THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE MANAGED UNDER THE USAID PORTFOLIO. THE
REASON FOR THE SHIFT IS THAT USAID HAS BROADER SUPPORT IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR
WHICH WILL FACILITATE BETTER INTEGRATION OF HIV/AIDS INTO SCHOOL CURRICULA.
TITLE: Strengthening and Expanding HIV Prevention in Primary Schools in Tanzania
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: A situational analysis conducted recently in the project area
(Mtwara and Ruvuma regions) indicates that HIV and AIDS affects between 10%-15% of enrolled pupils,
and an average of 7% teachers. Furthermore, schools have as many as 25% of pupils becoming orphans
resulting from various causes including HIV/AIDS. Through PEPFAR support the Ministry of Education and
Vocational Training (MOEVT) -Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE) has developed an operational plan to
reach 50% of all schoolchildren from Mtwara and Ruvuma regions with life planning skills education and
6,000 teachers from the same areas with basic HIV education. This project will equip both teachers and
pupils with the knowledge and skills to prevent HIV infections by practicing delayed sexual debut,
abstinence and being faithful to one partner. In FY 2008 MOEVT-TIE will continue to train teachers and
other caretakers in life planning skills education (LPSE) provide appropriate materials, advocate for
community involvement in protecting children, and promote healthy lifestyles in schools and local
communities. A special emphasis will be placed on girls' education to promote the empowerment of women
and delay early childbearing to allow time for maturity and fulfillment of academic goals.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: With FY 2007 funds, MOEVT-TIE is currently: 1. Developing and printing
comprehensive life planning skills package and IEC materials; 2. Training 57 district facilitators and 6,000
classroom teachers; 3. Advocating for acceptance, support and collaboration in mainstreaming HIV/AIDS
prevention education using Life Planning Skills from 200 leaders at regional and district levels; and
4. Disseminating IEC materials in schools and surrounding communities.
ACTIVITIES: Continuing activities initiated last year, MOEVT-TIE will: 1. Strengthen the capacity of
teachers, school counselors, and youth leaders in LPSE as a strategy to reach 50% of all the schools in the
two regions. To achieve this, MOEVT-TIE will: 1a) Build the capacity of 6,000 classroom teachers and 90
Teacher Resource Center (TRC) coordinators in interactive teaching and behavior change communication;
1b) Train 50 school counselors with 500 supportive youth leaders per district in basic counseling skills for
HIV/AIDS; 1c) Train 50 school inspectors and 180 ward education coordinators in supportive supervision
and monitoring skills. 2. Provide adequate reading materials for learners when in and out of school by
printing and disseminating 50,000 comprehensive life planning skills packages to schools and surrounding
communities in each district. 3. Advocate for community involvement and participation in HIV prevention
activities being implemented in schools including annual events such as World AIDS Day, Day of the
African Child, Parents' Day, and School Open Day. 4. Advocate for Guidance and Counseling services in all
schools to address HIV related issues. 5. Strengthen local teacher resource centers (TRC) with HIV
materials and relevant information for local use. 6 Advocate for voluntary counseling and testing among
teachers and pupils (with parental consent). 7. Strengthen information sharing mechanisms between TIE
and project area by: 7a) Conducting stakeholders coordination meeting quarterly in Mtwara and Ruvuma;
7b) Conducting dissemination workshops for teachers and education inspectors in selected districts; and
7c) Producing and distributing newsletters monthly that will provide feedback on the progress of
implementing the program. 8. Regularly monitor and evaluate project activities at all levels. This includes
reinforcing regular supportive supervision, conducting field-monitoring visits to schools, supervising
classroom teaching and extra curricular activities.
LINKAGES: To achieve the above linkages will be with the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP),
GTZ, Track 1 AB partners, and TAYOA, and other relevant NGOs in the respective regions.
CHECK BOXES: Capacity building activities will be conducted in the respective districts by trained
facilitators with additional faculties deployed from zonal and regional education offices, health facilities, and
other sources. Trainees will be strictly drawn from the respective district only. Printing and material
dissemination will be conducted by TIE in collaboration with zonal and regional education officials for easy
follow up. Advocacy meetings will be conducted in open meetings and all key persons will be invited to
attend and make policy statements or guidelines in activity implementation.
M&E: MOEVT-TIE has a monitoring mechanism in place for all sponsored school based interventions.
These will be used to track results and evaluate impact. However, collaboration with CDC Tanzania is
being sought to design a tool for monitoring that is easy to use and interpret findings. TIE will work closely
with the zonal and district inspectors of schools to ensure both monitoring and evaluations are implemented
accordingly. Findings and lessons learned will be shared with parents, partners, and other interested
parties.
SUSTAINABILITY: Positive outcomes of this intervention will be sustained by mainstreaming LPSE in the
school curriculum and ensuring that teachers and educational leaders are well conversant with teaching
them and monitoring the outputs. Enhanced community involvement and participation in school activities
will also be a driving force to the teaching of LPSE for prevention of HIV infections.
